Data description

Documentation

In order for your research data to be used properly by you,
colleagues, and other researchers in the future you must ensure
that there is proper documentation. This might sound
unnecessary and boring, but if you have ever had to go back to
a piece of research at a later date you would have found that
it takes quite some time and re-treading over old ground to
bring yourself back up to speed with what it was you were
doing. Documentation helps to reduce this problem for
yourself and makes your research more accessible to other
researchers if or when you decide to share it.

DMP

Re-visit your data management plan and add relevant content to
sections 2 and 6 relating to the metadata and
data description you will be keeping. Add as much
information as you are able to at this stage before moving onto
the next part of this module.
